RE: Meeting with the Taoiseach
Dear Member
A delegation of Shop Stewards (3) met with An Taoiseach on Monday 1st March 2021 and a further meeting of the full national Shop Stewards group took place on Tuesday 2nd March 2021 to consider the outcome of same.
At the meeting with An Taoiseach he confirmed that the €3m training and development fund was still available and the national Shop Steward group has decided that further discussions should take place with the relevant State agencies to explore how this fund might be used to the maximum benefit of the ex Debenhams members.
Additional updates will follow in due course
Yours fraternally
